The Canadian Jewish Community and the Politics of Quebec Independence - Jack Silverstone The Quebec independence movement did flirt with urban violence in the late 1960s, when cells of the FLQ (Front de LIbération du Québec) embarked on a spree of bombings and kidnappings which resulted in fatalities, injuries, rioting, and a form of martial law. In Quebec, as part of the ongoing governmental initiatives to ensure the primacy of the French language, there are laws and regulations concerning the use of French and controls on the use of other languages, including English, in the public domain. Nevertheless, the distorting effect of Quebec politics on the rest of the Jewish agenda in Canada is significant. www.jcpa.org /cjc/jl-361-silverstone.htm   (4306 words)

The October Crisis One such group was the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) who was committed to the independence of Quebec. In October 1970, the terrorist group FLQ kidnapped two public officials, an act that shocked Quebec and much of the nation given the widespread belief that Canada was the 'peaceable kingdom.' Terrorism was something that Canadians read about in newspapers; it was not supposed to occur in Canada, but the FLQ changed all that. While the vast majority worked within the legitimate democratic process, both to change the nature of Quebec society and to ensure the greater participation of French-speaking citizens in all aspects of life, a small minority insisted on armed insurrection. www.mta.ca /faculty/arts/canadian_studies/english/about/study_guide/debates/october_crisis.html   (1487 words)

The Government of Quebec had more than enough expertise and equipment to ferret out terrorist kidnappers Bernard Lortie, the brothers Paul and Jacques Rose, and Francis Simard, but, in typically liberal intemperateness, Trudeau, with his famous words, "Just watch me!," brought the federal fist down.
